Jackson Pulls Out of American Idol

The Sun reports that Michael Jackson has pulled out of appearing on American Idol.

Jackson To Perform in Las Vegas?

Michael Jackson's spokeswoman, Raymone Bain, has suggested that Jackson might perform in Las Vegas.

Quote:

"Mr. Jackson has been presented numerous proposals..proposals which he has not solicited, but were presented to him, several of which include performing in Las Vegas.

Mr. Jackson is currently reviewing and evaluating each proposal."

However, she is quick to disabuse those who think that a decision may be coming in the short term; as she notes that Jackson is under no pressure to make a quick decision.

One would have thought that his financial woes would provide him with this pressure...evidently not.

Bain added:

"Mr. Jackson did not move to Las Vegas to shop a Vegas show.

Mr. Jackson is in Las Vegas because he likes the city and found it a convenient location to record with the artists, songwriters and producers who are working with him in the studio...

Mr. Jackson has no current plans to appear or perform on 'American Idol.'"

Jackson is currently residing in Las Vegas.

As to whether Jackson ever appears on stage again, some are a tad cynical about that prospect.
